Top-Rated Morning Duo Johnjay & Rich Sign New Multi-Year Contract Extension
October 21, 2009
Clear Channel Radio Phoenix announced today that the popular morning duo, Johnjay & Rich, have been signed to a new multi-year contract extension. The major deal puts to rest months of rumor and speculation that one of the Valley’s highest rated morning shows was about to jump ship.
“We are very pleased to continue the Valley’s love affair with Johnjay and Rich on 104.7 KISS FM. They have become a social network unto themselves, providing listeners of all ages with entertainment and laughs daily. This reinforces our commitment to providing the best programming for our listeners and clients in the Valley of the Sun!” explained President & Phoenix Market Manger Jeff England.
“We are so happy that Clear Channel has decided to renew our show because anyone who listens to us knows that any shot we’d have at any other vocation whatsoever would leave our families in utter peril” said co-host Rich Berra.
“I can’t believe they re-signed us! Rich and I were about to travel above the state of AZ in a Mylar weather balloon. Instead we hide in the Clear Channel Radio attic waiting on a new contract!” added co-host Johnjay Van Es.
Johnjay & Rich keep the Phoenix audience engaged with features like Second Date Update, Confession Wednesday and The Good, the Bad and the Gossip. Additionally, top names in show business appear on-air regularly to get in on the act.
